Cheddar Potato skins

These are really easy.

For 1 dozen skins:

• 6 medium red potatoes (You could just any potato, these are just what I had on hand)
• 4 tbsp butter, softened
  
• 2 tbsp sour cream (plus extra for serving)
• 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp bacon bits (optional)
• salt, pepper, to taste

Preheat your oven to 400*F. After washing, poke holes into the potatoes with a fork, and microwave until a sharp knife can easily penetrate. Cut them in half and carefully scoop out the inside into a bowl. Mash together with butter, sour cream, half the cheddar, bacon, and season with salt and pepper according to your tastes. Spoon mixture back into the skins and top with the remaining cheddar. Bake on a cookie sheet until the cheese is melted and bubbling. 8-10 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
